GDT: NJ Devils @ Blue Jackets - 7pm

Recommended Posts

Chico is funny, this loss is one person, it had zero to do with how the team played with the lead, we out shot them like 35-24. The difference was marty, and I hope after this sh!t we don't see him again unless its like a back to back. Because he has been the far inferior goalie for some time now.

he's been the far inferior goalie of the two since Schneider came up in Vancouver. This isn't new

You are aware that when the game is winding down and you are down, you have to take chances? Right? Which means sometimes you get some defensive breakdowns. You know why they needed to take chances? Because marty made 19 saves on 24 shots against, which is ATTROCIOUS. There weren't any real quality scoring chances on top of it.

I need something to physically take my rage out on.

I was referring to some of the failed pinches by defencemen, and giveaways, and failures to dump the puck in. Just because something doesn't lead to a goal doesn't mean it wasn't a mistake. There was a lot of slop on the ice tonight. Especially Brodeur.

Think it is now time to ride the Cory train for quite awhile.....sad to see this happen, but Marty couldn't possibly sustain the level of play he had for that brief run a few weeks ago or so

Marty had about a .950-.960 save% during that little run...that definitely wasn't going to continue. Problem is his save% has been brutal outside of the run. I think almost every Devil fans appreciates the entire body of his work, but no one can ignore this anymore.

Buy a punching bag?

yea you pinch in situations where you maybe shouldn't, you force passes that you shouldn't, you try carry the puck..ect that is what was happening, those are things you do when you are down. There weren't very many bad defensive breakdowns, 4 of the 5 goals were on marty, and there was at least 1 shot where he got beat glove side badly but got bailed out by the post. The defense wasn't its best but it was still pretty good.

I agree. The defense was bad tonight. But only one of the goals was a result from a bad defensive breakdown. 3 of those goals have no business going into the net.

Why is no one asking PDB why he didn't pull marty after 3 trash goals.

No one on tv is telling it like it is, which is strange, cuz normally chico is honest about things at the very least.

Because the Devils don't have the media pressure or interest and certainly not from their own TV mascot. If this was Toronto, Montreal, Philly or Rangers for instance you'd see a different story. I said it before, TG should be asking tough questions because he's the Devils #1 writer now. But, TG at times seems more interested in being passive aggressive with the Devils (like his tweets concerning Clowe's media access) then asking the tough questions. Chere jumped the shark awhile ago so it's not coming from him.
